Third Knot

This print was done as part of a fund raiser for a local gallery (now selling my artwork). It is a replica (with some changes) of Albrecht Durer's Third Knot. Durring the fundraiser I sold, one of the prints, so that was nice, not that I actualy made any money on it... thus fundraising. Regardless, it is always nice to see your work apreciated.

Welcome to Paradise

 

Welcome to Paradise was created for my mother. Before my father passed away they had purchased/requested that the city put a bench overlooking the water in a little park area they used to walk to every day. I know that going to that bench now gives my mother a great deal of comfort. Therefore, I created a series of three 4 x 6 linocuts of the bench and the views taken in by an observer standing behind the "empty" bench.

OCEANSIDE: DOGWOOD

The Dogwood, one of those curiosities. Most people when they see them in flower and glory stop and ask... what is that? They are a tree to take note of when in bloom. 

OCEANSIDE: TRILLIUM

This image of a Trillium was the impetus for this series. I had wanted to create a series that described in part the nature of the Oceanside area. I battled with myself over what should be included there are grand trees, some of the largest in BC I believe in Cathedral grove, curvaceous medrona, a lovely array of ferns, mosses, sea plants, reeds, and wildflowers.... what do you include? The Trillium, however, with it's stately yet delicate form just called out to be recorded, as it peeked out for it's spring welcome.  

OCEANSIDE: SEAWEED

This print is of some seaweed found on the beach around Qualicum on Vancouver Island, one of the world's truly beautiful spots. It comes from a series of work titled Oceanside after the area that the imagery was captured from.  

Grumble

This image was created using woodcut techniques on a scrap piece of wood found in the dumpster in my condo complex. I used a paste method instead of an ink method to create this print When seen through non computerized means you can see the subtle colourings that are created through the paste methodology.
